Abstract or Description

It is clear that online education has quickly become a prominent, and increasingly important, component of higher education. Yet the barriers between students and faculty - both physical and psychological - that are inherent in online education can make the formation of strong relationships difficult to achieve. Using the Community of Inquiry framework as a basis for discussion, this paper/presentation will outline the techniques that the author has found to be successful in helping to create relationships with students within a completely asynchronous online graduate business program
